People are lazy, and they want their fast food via the television.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
After working for TV, you realise that the majority of the population still wonders where their next meal is coming from.
The idea behind fast food is great - people want convenience.
Fast food is popular because it's convenient, it's cheap, and it tastes good. But the real cost of eating fast food never appears on the menu.
The problem with living in a fast-food nation is that we expect food to be cheap.
Poorer people tend to watch more television because they can't afford other diversions.
The problem is when that fun stuff becomes the habit. And I think that's what's happened in our culture. Fast food has become the everyday meal.
A whole set of values comes with fast food: Everything should be fast, cheap and easy; there's always more where that came from; there are no seasons; you shouldn't be paid very much for preparing food. It's uniformity and a lack of connection.
When fast food is not a treat but a dietary staple, the children surf the internet all day in dark corners of the room and are bombarded with latest gadgets. Things replace parental standards.
Not enough families eat together. We eat in front of the TV while we're absorbed in a program.
People want real food. The demand for it is through the roof.
